When spring visits North Carolina, it enters quickly and generously. Within just a few days of the official date of Spring, it felt like all the flowers and blooms came quickly to life. I knew that the JC Raulston Arboretum would be the perfect spot for Katelyn and Stephen’s Spring Garden Engagement in Raleigh. Just scrolling through the photographs from their session shows the beauty of North Carolina spring time weather. Even more so– the immense love that these two soon to be Mr. and Mrs. have for each other.

I’m always so blessed to have incredible couples with the best and bubbliest of spirits. Katelyn and Stephen were no exception that and they laughed and had the sweetest smiles. We had such a great session and I truly enjoyed getting to know them! Then, as we said our goodbyes, things got a little crazier than normal.

Long story short, on our way to the vehicles, we witnessed an argument and fight, in a normally super calm area of NC State’s campus. The details are pretty wacky, so I’ll spare you from those– but it was intense to say the least. We called the Raleigh police and the issue was resolved within about an hour. But, within that hour I was able to spend even more time with Katelyn and Stephen while we waited to give our witness accounts.

We had such a good time chatting even through the craziness. It was definitely a session for the books! I’m so happy to have gotten to know these two and that I get to share their sunshine filled spring garden engagement in Raleigh for a long time to come!
